Chris wasn't there when I did the demo. It's basically an attempt to sound like Stephen Sondheim, and was written for Liza Minnelli. Our demo was never mixed, it was just put onto cassette, so this is the one song we have remixed for these re-releases. I wrote the music on the piano at home. I'd had the sheet music to work out 'Losing my mind' and so I started to play some other very Stephen Sondheim chord changes. The song was written to be a duet. That's why you get lines like 'how tough it gets' then 'don't talk to me about it'; those are the two people talking to each other.

We had this fantastic idea that, as Liza Minnelli was touring with Frank Sinatran The Ultimate Event, and as we knew that was coming to the recording studio after having done the concert, that we would get her to sing it as a duet with Frank Sinatra. It would just be great to be able to say to people, 'Oh yeah, we had Frank Sinatra in the studio the other day'. But it didn't happen.

Chris I don't know if she's ever forgiven Frank Sinatra for nicking 'New York, New York' from her.

Neil She said she thought she and I should sing it together. We did actually try it-I sing it higher than she does, or it sounds like that. I couldn't sing in her key and she couldn't sing in my key but it sounded quite interesting. Anyway, eventually she recorded it on her own for Results, although in 19911 did sing it as a duet with Pam Sheyne in the Performance shows. It's about a woman in an unhappy relationship, possibly an abusive relationship, which realises that she always gives in. I think I just came up with the line 'so sorry, I said' and the rest followed.

Chris I would have said 'I said, so sorry'. I would never have thought of saying 'so sorry, I said'.

Neil I don't think I would have, but I did, for some reason. It just came from somewhere. In the song, the woman says 'so sorry' when really she shouldn't. When it comes to the crux of the matter she just swallows her pride. And Liza said she really understood that.
